Processing of construction & demolition debris

C&D Disposal

The C&D processing facility at Iron City Express receives, sorts and recycles construction and demolition debris. We are dedicated to conserving landfill space and reducing the impact of producing new construction materials, so we make every effort to sort loads for reuse and recycling. In addition, we provide LEED services and reporting that documents your landfill diversion and recycling efforts in accordance with your project’s certification.

e-Waste Policy Iron City Express C&D Processing Facility

The
Construction & Demolition (C&D) processing facility on location at Iron
City Express only receives loads defined as C&D waste. Any load that is observed to be contaminated
by any other waste, will be rejected when scaling in. At times, there are loads which are
contaminated by waste other than C&D that is not able to be observed before
the load is dumped. Any non-C&D waste will then be bypassed in the sorting
facility and properly disposed of.

One of these types of prohibited materials is classified as e-waste. In accordance with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania laws, any e-waste that has been bypassed will be collected and properly recycled at an approved facility. The approved facilities closest to us are E-cycling in South Side or various Best Buy locations, as per the Allegheny Health Department “Recycling Resource Directory”.
